My mother said to me, “Have you finished your homework?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My mother asked me whether I had finished my homework.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present perfect tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past perfect tense.

    Present Perfect Tense > Past Perfect Tense.
